Abstract
Provided is a charger with a battery diagnosis function and a control method thereof. The charger with a battery diagnosis function includes a DC-DC converter configured to operate in a charging mode to charge a battery or to operate in a diagnosing mode to apply a perturbation voltage to the battery when the battery is fully charged, and a digital signal processor configured to calculate an equivalent circuit model parameter of the battery according to an output response of the battery with respect to the perturbation voltage, to calculate a charging/discharging frequency of the battery by using an ohmic resistance value among the equivalent circuit model parameter of the battery, and to calculate a residual equivalent capacity of the battery by using the charging/discharging frequency of the battery.
